Altius

Altius Institute for Biomedical Sciences is an independent, non-profit research organization focused on decoding the human genome's regulatory operating system. The institute utilizes advanced high-throughput technologies to map the regulatory DNA landscape across hundreds of human cell and tissue types to understand how genes are controlled in health and disease. By integrating deep computational biology with innovative experimental platforms, Altius aims to identify new therapeutic targets and develop next-generation medicines, including gene and cell therapies. The organization is notable for its large-scale industrial-style approach to biological discovery and its significant strategic collaborations with major pharmaceutical companies like GSK.
